Anyone else who is stumbling around trying to find what part number there is for different brake pads for The rs250/265? i think it would be great if we could create a list with part number for every brand like ferodo, carbotech, Cl etc? I'll start with what i've come up with: Front ferodo ds2500: fcp1334H, ds3000: fcp1334r front cl rc6: 4066 anyone else who knows pfc08, endless, carbotech etc ?
Any news on this? I have the same issue - would love to know shape or part# of PFC and Endless. Trying to go via Mitsu EVOs shapes but wanna know for sure, this stuff is kinda expensive for making a mistake. THX
I would be interested in PFC as well. I m running currently PFC 348mm with CL5+ and they don`t like each other. too much brake pad dust on the discs is making me crazy :-/ are there any PFC for the megane available?
I am looking at changing my front pads. Any suggestions on some good ones that won't break the bank? If not might just stick with original ones!
I'm about to change front and rear pads as well. OEM ones in front are not suited for track days - currently looking at Pagid (RS15, RS19, RS29), PFC (97, 01, 08) and the latest recomendation is Endless with their MX72 pads. They all cost aprox. the same and the pads shape# should be taken from EVO/STi with 4pot Brembo calipers. The OEM rear pads are from regular Megane models as I've been told. Mine are kinda orange now after the last track day so I'm gonna replace them soon with EBC Yellowstuff to preserve the bias for a FWD car (more friction in front, less in back).
Yellowstuff are fantastic in these, I run them in the rear with Pagids up front and the stopping power is phenomenal
Hey Jamie, was hoping you'll join us here.. You have the RS29, right? Can u live with them all year round or not? As I use my car everyday, even in winter on snow.. After reading a lot of reviews and opinions on pads with high torque friction materials I came to a conclusion it's probably not a smartest idea to use them during the winter - the ABS may have mess up its head in some slippery conditions and it won't let you brake hard enough. So my latest thoughts - get the OEM ones for a winter (cheapest solution) and some more serious ones for a summer season since I'm using Ad08 tyres. Josh250: All of these are quite expensive and they do differ a lot in terms of usage. The EBC Yellowstuff should do the work fine if you do a coupe track days and use them for a daily driving. My local track is Brno GP circuit - it's fast and you gotta brake from almost 130mph+ into a half of the corners so I tent to get some serious friction suited for this job so I don't mind spending money on them since in general I may save some money on buying and destroying the pads that don't work here.
Don't use the Pagids over winter, they don't like the cold and wet and Falk apart, I'm on stock fronts until the weather gets better next year, Same with CL RC pads they dislike the cold and wet and can fall apart
did we ever establish what the std front pads were? i.e i remember somewhere someone mentioning they were ferodo ds performance?
Thx for confirmation Jamie To all: I have collected some shape numbers of mentioned front pads, so here we go: Endless: EP357 (here in CZ the MX72 costs about £315) PFC: 7781 (from asperformance the PFC08 are about £255 + £30 shipping) Pagid: U2487 (here in CZ they costs from £216 for to £250 for RS19 and RS29) Hope it helps. Sebinko: we gotta go for PFC08 for sure
